Roofing Applications of Spray Foam
Spray Foam Roof Systems have many advantages over traditional roofing methods:
Weather Resistant
American Insulation Applicators' roofing spray foam provides excellent weather resistant insulation, protecting the building from the dangers of humidity and extreme temperature conditions.
Thermal Insulation
American Insulation Applicators' roofing spray foam has the best insulating properties available for commercial construction today. Sprayed polyurethane foam has an R-value of 7.14 per 1 inch thickness, enabling it to provide more thermal resistance with less material than any other type of roofing insulation.
Waterproofing
Composed of billions of closed cells, American Insulation Applicators' roofing spray foam acts as an air barrier, preventing moisture infiltration into the building (the number one cause of building deterioration). Even when the top coat of a foam roofing system is damaged, the underlying foam will keep the roof from leaking. If a penetration does occur all the way through the foam layers, the water infiltration will be isolated only to the area where the membrane has been penetrated. Small penetrations in foam roofing systems can be repaired easily with an elastomeric caulk, reinstating the integrity of the system.
Seamless
American Insulation Applicators' roofing spray foam is sprayed onto the roof as a liquid and forms a single continuous seamless membrane that covers the entire roof. There are no seams or joints, the source of the majority of leaks in traditional roofs.
Flexible
American Insulation Applicators' roofing spray foam can be sprayed onto virtually any surface, including irregularly shaped roofs and protrusions that pose problems with other systems.
Self Flashing
Our roofing spray foam’s excellent adhesion allows it to be installed with almost no flashings; some roofers call the material “self-flashing”. Regardless of age, or building use, it retains its density and compressive strength. SPF curb flashings solve a number of problems, including withstanding structural vibrations when applied to light-gauge metal roof curbs.
Versatility
American Insulation Applicators' roofing spray foam can be successfully applied to virtually every type of membrane roofing system available, including asphalt, coal tar, modified bitumen, and single-ply, in addition to metal panels.
Elimination of “Water-Ponding”
When applying the spray foam in re-roofing situations, it is very easy
to build up areas of greater thickness while spraying. so that water will
drain properly. This eliminates the problem of water-ponding and the additional
weight load associated with water accumulation.
Sustainability
American Insulation Applicators Spray Foamed roofs require a minimum of upkeep, creating little waste and have an indefinite lifespan.
Strong Adhesion and Wind Uplift Resistance
American Insulation Applicators' roofing spray foam prevents air leakage so that wind uplift resistance is increased dramatically.
Energy Efficiency
American Insulation Applicators' roofing spray foam produces energy savings of 30% or greater when compared to the alternative roofing systems. With today’s rising fuel costs, the cost of the roof can be easily recovered a few years, simply through these energy savings alone!
